After completing the Communication Course, I achieved more than I ever thought I could.

It turns out I don’t have to get carried away by other people’s emotions, and I can feel comfortable making eye contact with someone. I learned that I don’t necessarily have to give advice for someone to feel better after talking to me.

Now I feel comfortable repeating the same question or request when I get interrupted, and it doesn’t annoy me anymore.

I discovered just how limitless the human mind can be. You think, “That’s not me. I could never do that. It’s too awkward, and I’m too shy.” But through repetition and seeing your own mistakes, things start to happen.

With these new skills, it’s much easier to manage my emotions and recognize what triggers me, when someone is manipulating me, and when someone isn’t maintaining shared reality, agreement, and communication.

I’ve grown mentally, become more emotionally stable, and stopped taking other people’s emotions personally. And sometimes, I don’t even have to respond at all!

This has given a huge boost to my communication with my boyfriend, emotionally reactive relatives, and even complete strangers.

Thank you!
